Why is the South Pole cold than the North Pole? S1.______
Both polar regions of the earth are cold, primarily
because they receive far less solar radiation than the
tropics and mid-latitudes do. In either pole the sun S2.______
never rises more than 23.5 degrees above the horizon
and both locations experience six months of continuous
dark. Moreover, most of the sunlight that does shine S3.______
on the polar regions reflected by the bright white surface. S4.______
What make the South Pole so much colder than the North Pole S5.______
is that it sits on top of a very thick ice sheet, which itself sits
on a continent. Surface of the ice sheet at the South Pole S6.______
is more than 9000 feet in elevation—more than a mile
and a half over sea level. Antarctica is the highest continent S7.______
on the earth. In comparison, the North Pole rests in the middle
of the Arctic Ocean, which the surface of floating ice rides S8.______
only a foot or so above the surrounding sea. The Arctic Ocean
also acts an effective heat reservoir, warming the cold atmosphere S9.______
in the winter and is drawing heat from the atmosphere in the summer. S10.______

听力原文: Science has told us so much about the moon that it is quite easy to form. an idea of what it would be like to go there. It is certainly not a friendly place. As there is no air or water, there can be no life of any kind. Mile after mile there are only plains of dust with mountains around them. Above, the sun and stars shine in a black sky. If you step out of the mountain shadows, it will mean moving from terrible could in to great heat. The moon is also a very' silent world, for sound waves can only travel through air. But from the moon, you can see a friendly sight. Our earth is shining more brightly than the stars. It looks like a huge ball, colored blue and green and brown.

Antarctica differs fundamentally from the Arctic regions. The Arctic is an ocean,(55)with drifting packed ice and surrounded by the land masses of Europe, Asia, and North America. The Antarctic is a continent nearly as(56)as Europe and Au stralia combined, centered roughly(57)the South Pole and(58)by the most unobstructed water areas of the world—the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans.
The continental ice(59)is more than two miles high at its center; thus, the air over the Antarctic is far more refrigerated than it is over the Arctic regions. This(60)air cascades off the land with such(61)that it makes the nearby seas the stormiest in the world and renders(62)those regions whose counterparts at the opposite end of the(63)are inhabited. Thus, more than a million persons live within 2,000 miles of the North Pole in an area that(64)most of Alaska, Siberia, and Scandenavia—a region(65)in forest and mining industries. Except for a handful of weather stations, within the same distance of the South Pole there is not a single tree, industry, or settlement.
